The print room temperature here is between about 18-25 depending on the time of year.Forrest Higgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208965471464716174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23681518.post-13992779297548866152011-12-21T06:57:12.360-08:002011-12-21T06:57:12.360-08:00Even heated beds seem to suffer with low ambient -...Even heated beds seem to suffer with low ambient - I&#39;m having a really bad time getting anything to stick for the full print to my Heated bed in the workshop below 12 degrees C so I&#39;m temporarily printing inside over the colder months to combat that.RichRaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348596756294999378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23681518.post-45670821522028548702011-12-20T04:12:08.958-08:002011-12-20T04:12:08.958-08:00I doubt if a heat lamp alone will provide enough h...I doubt if a heat lamp alone will provide enough heat to keep you AND the printer warm in a garage in winter unless you live in a very mild climate.Forrest Higgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208965471464716174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23681518.post-86818484884295442402011-12-19T13:08:57.390-08:002011-12-19T13:08:57.390-08:00Great tip!

I&#39;ll have to get a heat lamp to keep it (and me) warm! :)NumberSixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246251303703200543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23681518.post-24480604366681235212011-12-17T13:07:16.334-08:002011-12-17T13:07:16.334-08:00I&#39;ll have to try that!

You could probably even bend the cloth to focus or spread the heat in various ways.Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623342498696677919noreply@blogger.com
